When a comrade gets arrested If you’re new to actions with an arrest risk and you don’t have experienced protestors with you, there’s stuff you can find online about having a legal team, writing the name of a lawyer on your body, saying NOTHING to the cops except the name of your lawyer, etc. That’s … Continue reading

Small victories
When I say ‘appreciate small victories’, I mean that a single squat that resists eviction is an autonomous space preserved, a single refugee saved from deportation is a comrade that’s still with us, a single night on which we take the street back from fascists/cops is a celebration of our collective power and an inspiration … Continue reading Small victories
Wholesome
Good wholesome: including plenty of hopeful, encouraging materials into your blogging, not trying to shock your followers into awareness, having place for lightheartedness and fun, having conversations based on good faith with those who are genuinely interested in what you have to say, practicing transformative justice, cheering each other up just because you can, working … Continue reading Wholesome
Mainstream media: *Ignores activists* Activists: Document their own actions in great detail with live streams, photos, reports from different participating groups, analysis. Centrists: All your sources are fringe websites, so that means this never happened and you are just as badly misinformed as people who get their news from Donald Trump’s twitter feed.
Thing I wanna start doing: never again give an identity definition without adressing the power relationship that made the label relevant. So never again “Transgender is when you are coercively assigned a gender at birth and do not identity with that gender” without “… and as a result experience the systematic oppression of transgender people.” … Continue reading
Riots
While we’re on the topic of the kind of lawbreaking ‘civil’ society frowns upon, let’s say out loud for a moment that rioting in response to injustice works. Is it dangerous? yes. Will the media lie about it? yes. Will people in our own communities tell us that we’re ruining it for the good activists? … Continue reading Riots
The Stonewall Exception
I’m starting to feel very uneasy about the amount of attention that is given to Stonewall, and only to Stonewall. You see, there is a long history of LGBT people (often transgender sex workers of color who were worst hit by police brutality) fighting cops. Before Stonewall, there were the Cooper Do-Nuts Riot (1959), the … Continue reading The Stonewall Exception
